Hello, this time I will be reviewing the items I received in
Pink Panda's Halloween Mystery Bag. This mystery bag contained 4 items; the
first being 7th Heaven's Exfoliator & Masque.
So, how did I like this present from Pink Panda?
This mask comes in a sachet that isn’t too hard to rip,
although I decided to use scissors to cut it. The sachet contains enough mask
for one use.

The ingredients list includes glycerine, orange (Citrus aurantium dulcis) peel oil,
vitamin E and vitamin C for nourishment. There’s also black lava and Dead Sea
salt, the salt is there to exfoliate the skin. There are no parabens. The scent
is terribly intense, like oranges. Honestly, it’s way too overwhelming for me,
it’s just too citrusy. The expiration date doesn't seem to be printed anywhere.
This mask is supposed to stay for 15-20 minutes before
washing it off, since it is a clay-type mask. That’s not too long, but I do
prefer when masks dry in a shorter amount of time, like 10-15, for example.
The mask’s formula is not too thick, but it’s not runny or
watery either. It feels like soft clay or mud. It’s also quite greasy. The sea
salt crystals are quite big and they do feel like they exfoliate nicely but
given their size, I expected them to feel “sharper”.
Applying the mask is very easy; since it’s not too thick it
is easy to spread across the face. As soon as I applied it though, I could feel
slight tingling on parts of my face, mainly under my nose and on my cheeks. The
mask felt tingly and warm there, but on the rest of the face it felt minty and
refreshing, like it’s detoxing the skin deeply. I had to remove the mask after
15 minutes instead of 20 like I planned because the warmness and tingling was
becoming too much.
So, after I washed it off and dried my face with a towel, I
started to feel that warm feeling on my cheeks again, but it was more intense
now. My skin looked okay; it was completely matte, my pores seemed like they
were narrowed, and the mask removed every single blackhead I had on my nose,
but my face just felt irritated. I noticed that my acne seemed less inflamed,
so that’s great. What isn’t so great is that my skin both looked and felt very
dry, there were some dry patches on my cheeks. It’s odd how my face felt so
irritated when there were no signs of irritation (redness, pimples, rash etc).
So, to conclude: I really didn’t like this mask. I pretty
much hate the minty feeling while it’s drying, and the way my skin reacted to
it. It felt terrible in spite of looking alright; it caused a slight burning
sensation in my cheeks and under my nose. To be fair, I am pretty sure that the
mask did what it was advertised it would do and that’s detox. Given how
narrower my pores looked and how I didn’t have any blackheads after using this
mask, my skin was definitely thoroughly detoxed. I didn’t have any expectations
whatsoever so I didn’t feel disappointed by it, especially since it was a gift! But I certainly won't be recommending it.
